T -1 HE administration of the affairs of a medical
-L school, and the wise solution of the myriad prob-
lems which must every day confront such an ad-
ministrator is, in itself, a task calling for rare quali-
ties in an individual, and rarer still is the man who
can rise above the mundane duties of administration
and yet not lose the common touch with those whom
it is his duty to guide.
Therefore — in recognition of his capable adminis-
tration, his masterful teaching, his humane friendli-
ness, and above all, for his profound faith in a
glorious destiny for Hahnemann and the men of
Hahnemann — we, the class of Nineteen Hundred
and Forty, dedicate this, our class book to

10 THE CLASS OF 1940
» »
IN my long and intimate contact with hundreds of medical students. I am convinced
that each student undergoes material change during his formal medical education. It is
to be expected that any individual living in the environment of a medical college and
directing his thoughts in medical channels for four years would become a definite type.
Not only is this a fact, but environment and time are necessary for medical students to
realize that the practice of medicine requires extensive professional knowledge before
the responsibility of a physician can be assumed properly.
Samuel Hahnemann said that it is criminal to neglect any information which may be
of value to a future patient. I trust sincerely that each member of the Class of 1940 will
keep this admonition in mind and also the many advantages which this training in
Homeopathy affords him.
The members of the Class of 1940 must accept soon the numerous responsibilities of
medical practice and each should be a loyal son of Hahnemann and observe the highest
traditions of his Alma Mater.
I am truly grateful for the compliment of having this classbook dedicated to me and
wish the fullest measure of success to each member of the Class of 1940.

"Man is not put into the world as a music box set wth a fixed
number of tunes, but as a violin with infinite possibilities."
YOU have been given the opportunity at Hahnemann to prepare you selves to face a
complicated and difficult world in which you must function. Entering a profession
whose rewards embrace so many of the finer things in life, should be the means of
developing in you the highest ideals, the acquisition of which can only bring happiness.
Pride in things well done and an appreciative affection and sincere interest in your work
on the part of those you have been fortunate enough to assist physically and mentally,
await you. May your ambition to reach the highest attainment in your profession be
tempered with those lovable traits of kindness, patience, and sympathy, guided by which
you will arrive at that enviable state in life known as success. Those who have been

In planning your future do include in it a journey to your Alma Mater at certain
intervals and refresh your mind at this fountain of know ledge, by a post-graduate course
in the selected subjects you will find so necessary.
Go forth with the determination that you will live up to the ethical standards of your
profession, no matter what the economic picture may be. looking forward only to that day
when such a career and purpose will bring you self-respect and the great esteem of those
who know you.

FREDERICK SAMUEL HAHNEMANN
CHRISTIAN FREDERICK SAMUEL HAHNEMANN, one of the great figures in
medicine, was born in Meissen, Germany, on April 10, 1755. Very early in his
schooling he exhibited the brilliance that distinguished him throughout life. His skill
as a linguist broadened his knowledge and facilitated his studies at Leipsic. From this
school he graduated as a Doctor of Medicine in 1779. His perspicacity early revealed to
him the chaotic state of therapy, then prevailing. Complacency in this matter was in-
compatible with his disposition and learning. His quest for a solution drove him about
Germany practicing Medicine and Psychiatry, experimenting in Chemistry — and in this
he had few peers — but always studying, always writing. His work had already disting-
uished him as a physician. In 1796 his travail terminated. The principles of homoeopathy
were enunciated. He returned to Leipsic to teach Medicine. In the years that followed
he elaborated, further applied, and taught his findings. He acquired followers who dis-
seminated and modified his teachings yet cleaving to the principles and methods of Hahne-
mann. His innovations were not received as manna. Very early the refractoriness of
medical men even in his day was apparent. This served only to characterize the spread
of his principles with a virile turbulence. With an arduous life behind him rest was vital.
This he found for a short time in Paris where he died in 1843. In his bequest to Medicine
was a lesson in the urgency for acuity of observation, and a rule of therapy, where for-
merly none existed.

HAHNEMANN MEDICAL COLLEGE
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
T
HE vast and complex organization
that is today — Hahnemann Medical
College and Hospital of Philadelphia
had its simple beginnings in a phy-
sican's office at the corner of Julianna
and Vine Streets on a February day in
1848. On that day, Dr. Jacob Jeans, Dr.
Walter Williamson, and Dr. Constantine
Hering met in Dr. Jeans office, and de-
cided to apply to the Pennsylvania
Legislature, then in session, for a med-
ical school charter. It was the desire of these men to found a homeopathic
medical school, where the student who desired a knowledge of the practice of
homeopathy, might acquire such a knowledge systematically; and not, and
had been the custom previously, by serving a haphazard apprenticeship under
a practitioner of that art. The charter was granted, and on April 8, 1848, the
Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania, the college now considered as
the old school, was incorporated.
And so, the impetus having been initiated by the three founders; the
homeopathic physicians of the city set themselves to the task of procuring
funds and obtaining a building where classes might be held. A building was
leased at 229 Arch Street, a faculty appointed, and on Monday evening, Oc-
tober 16, 1848, the opening session of the old college was held. Classes started
the next day under the direction of a faculty consisting of: Caleb B. Matthews,
M.D., Materia Medica; Walter Williamson, M.D., Midwifery and Diseases of
Women and Children; Francis Sims, M.D., Surgery; Samuel Freedly, M.D.,
Botany; Matthew Semple, M.D., Chemistry; William A. Gardiner, M.D., Anat-
omy; Alvan E. Small, M.D., Physiology; and Alvan E. Small, M.D., Pathology.
The first year found fifteen students paying the $100 course fee, a $10 anatomy
fee, and a $15 graduation fee, to attend classes. The year terminated with
graduation exercises which were held March 15, 1849 in Music Fund Hall at
which six men were graduated.
The success of the first session of the old college demonstrated to the
founders that more adequate facilities would be necessary if the college was
to continue to grow and prosper, and so, during the summer of 1849,
HAHNEMANN a searc h was made for larger quarters. These were found in a struc-
HO^PTTAT * ure l° ca * e d on the North side of Filbert Street between Eleventh and
15th StreetU 887- -1938)
im&Bias^sss^tts^
12th Streets (now the
site of the Reading
Terminal), which had
formerly been occu-
pied by the Pennsyl-
vania College of
Medicine. The open-
ing lectures of the
second session of the
old college was held
on the evening of
October 1, 1849, in
this building.
The old college con-
tinued its existence
in this location until
1869. These years,
however, found the
college beset with fi-
nancial difficulties which were partially solved by
making the school a stock corporation. This move,
however, permitted one of the faculty to become the
majority stockholder and the distatorial manners he
assumed in his control of the school initiated a wid-
ening breech between himself and one of the found-
ers, Constantine Hering. The break finally came in
1865 with Hering resigning from his lectureship in
protest over the abolishment of the chair of pathology
by the majority stockholder.
Hering determined to start another college be-
lieving that the old college was no longer serving
its purpose as a school where students might acquire
a homeopathic education as part of a well rounded
medical course. He secured the charter of the
Washington Medical College, which had been char-

North Broad Street (1886 - 1929)
THE OLD
HOSPITAL
tered in Pennsylvania in
1853, and which had ap-
parently never held
classes. In July, 1867 he
secured a court order
changing the name of the
originally chartered school
to the Hahnemann Medi-
cal College of Philadel-
phia. Thus began what is
now considered to be the
new college. The second
and third floors of a build-
ing at 1307 Chestnut Street
were rented and the new
college began classes on
October 13, 1867. The first
session ended with a com-
mencement at Music Fund Hall on March 4, 1868. For its second and last ses-
sion, the new college moved to a building at 18 North 10th Street, and this ses-
sion ended with a commencement at the Academy of Music on March 3, 1869.
In the meantime, most of the faculty of the old college, being in sympathy
with Hering, were attempting to work out a plan for the union of the two col-
leges. The opportunity to consummate this union was afforded in 1869 when
the dominant stockholder of-
fered to sell his holdings in the
old college. With Dr. Walter
Williamson acting as the agent
for Hering, the deal was trans-
acted, and the major portion of
the stock of the old college was
transferred to Dr. Hering. The
two colleges were legally
merged by an act of the Legis-
lature on April 2, 1869, and a
supplementary act on March
1 1, 1870; and so the old Homeo-
pathic Medical College of Penn-
sylvania passed out of exist-
ance, and the Hahnemann Med-
ical College became the only
homeopathic medical college in
Philadelphia.
The combined college, lo-
cated at the old Filbert Street
address, grew steadily in size,
wealth, and faculty, until final-
ly, the increasing numbers of
students made it imperative
that more adequate facilities be

HAHNEMANN OF THE FUTURE
obtained. So, we find the subject of a new college and hospital being dis-
cussed in 1880. This ended in the purchase of ground on the west side of North
Broad Street between Race and Vine Streets. The cornerstone for the new
building was placed on November 6, 1884. Thus, with the session beginning
on September 27, 1886, the college moved from the now inadequate Filbert
Street quarters into the new North Broad Street buildings. This building con-
tinued as the college building until 1928, when it was torn down to make way
for the new hospital, and the college moved into the only hospital building
fronting on North 15th Street. The college remained in the old hospital build-
ing until 1938, when this building was partially razed to make way for the con-
struction of the new college building.

R UFUS B. WEAVER
1841-1936
HAHNEMANN MEDICAL COLLEGE is the proud pos-
sessor of the most renowned specimen of anatomical
dissection of its type, known to medicine. This specimen,
known as "Harriet", is a complete dissection of the human
cerebro-spinal nervous system.
Harriet was a maid employed by Dr. Weaver. For
years she suffered from, tuberculosis, and before she died,
she requested that her body be used to benefit science.
This was a benevolent gesture, for in those days when
superstition reigned, doctors and scientists had difficulty
in obtaining cadavers for dissection and study. Therefore,
when Harriet passed away in 1887, Dr. Weaver proceed-
ed, after much deliberation and research, to carry out her
wish in a way that was most worthy of her generosity and
humanitarianism. He finally produced the specimen
which we now possess, a scientific achievement that has
rewarded Harriet's kindness by rendering her immortal.
Up until the time Dr. Weaver undertook this unusual
task, such work had never before been attempted, and
the completed specimen, the preparation and mounting of
which consumed six months of exacting labor, stands as
ct masterpiece of perserverance and skill — a tribute to the
patience of Dr. Weaver and an everlasting monument to
his mastery of woman anatomy.

EULOGY OF THE DOCTOR
T -1 HERE are men and classes of men that stand above the ccm-
■*■ mon herd: the soldier, the sailor, the shepherd, not infre-
quently; the artist rarely; rarelier still, the clergyman; the phy-
sican almost as a rule.
He is the flower (such as it is) of our civilization; and when
that stage of man is done with, and only remembered to be mar-
veled at in history, he will be thought to have shared as little as
any in the virtues of the race.
Generosity he has, such as is possible to those who practice
an art, never to those who drive a trade; discretion, tested by a
hundred secrets; tact, tried in a thousand embarrassments, and
what are more important, Herculean cheerfulness and courage.
So it is that he brings aid and cheer into the sickroom, and often
enough, though not so often as he wishes, brings healing.

NIGHT FALLS
Night falls . . .
To deepen the sorrows of the day.
Still hours . . .
Darken the weary souls of men.
Pity Man . . .
Who sleeps deaf to tortured cry.
Scorn Man . . .
Death must never have reward.
Nor Pain . . .
Its anguishing relentless way.
Night falls . . .
But Man does not forget Man.
Still hours . . .
Abound in Peace and loving Mercy.
Man's humanity to man,
One Mighty Barrier
Against a vast Unknown.

WALLACE K. KRATZ
Assistant Registrar
r P HERE are times when the impersonal black of a printers ink
■*■ set down in words, and phrases, and sentences on cold
white paper must fall far short of the duties one would require
of them. So it seems that anything that we, or anyone else
who knows him, might set down on paper concerning Wally,
would be wholly inadequate. To only enumerate the things
we will remember him for: the ever-ready, cheerful smile; a
wise crack that brightened up a hum-drum day, a word or two
of consolation when we wallowed in the doldrums; a word of
reassurance when rumors or actualities had us worried; a
kindly word of counsel when we wrestled with a problem; and
a friendly word of warning when we threatened to overstep
any of the bounds which the exigencies of a medical curricula
placed around us, to but enumerates these and all his other
deeds which made our days at Hahnemann easier, could never
serve to delineate the true character of the man. So, because
there are none among us who do not owe some debt of grati-
tude to him; and none among us whose medical school lives
have not been enriched by his friendship, we salute — our friend
and counsellor —

TO OUR PARENTS
On this, the first page of the Senior Section, we pause to pay
tribute to two grand people.
Through long years they have inspired our every effort to
strive on. Their sacrifices have been great, indeed, that our
names should appear on the pages that follow.
Whether it be our fare to achieve distinction or not in our
chosen profession, may we strive always to vindicate their pro-
found faith in us.
And in after years, when we turn the pages of this book, may
this serve, always, as a reminder of the two whose devotion has
made us physicians —
MOTHER AND DAD.

And that unrest which men miscall delight.
Can touch him not and torture not again."

SENIOR REFLECTIONS
Four years... of our allotted space... have passed ... Measured by the
few tangible values . . . that are the only remains of their passing ... a receding
hair line ... a new vocabulary ... a degree of portliness in our demeanor and
appearance ... a Doctor's degree... a new way of thinking ... measured by
these remains. . .those four years might have been considered. . .slow. . .and
dreary. . .and well rid of. . .and so. . .become unmourned in their passing. . .
But these things . . . are but the ashes . . . not the fuel which made the four years'
flame. . .burn so brightly. . .and so swiftly. . .the happenings. . .the high spots
. . .the sorrows. . .the joys. . .thees are the intangibles. . .which made the four
years . . . swift in their passing . . . these ... in retrospect . . . are the things . . . which
have made the past four years an unforgettable part of our lives . . .
September . . . Nineteen Thirty-six . . . and by the grace of . . . acceptance
committees. . .grades. . .personality. . .we were finally medical students. . .and
this was registration week... We wandered... somewhat in awe. . .through
corridors ... ringing with the glad helloes of upper classmen. . .giving voci-
ferous demonstration of their joy in finding one another back... Eager fresh-
men . . . leading not-so-eager fathers . . . with check books in their hands . . . The
counsel of upper classmen. . ."don't buy those notes". . ."that's a snap course"
. . ."watch out for prof in that course", .in one ear. . .and out the other. . .and
then. . .The opening exercises. . .and our first. . .of many hours to be spent in
the Elkins Amphitheatre . . . and while the Provost welcomed . . . and the Trus-
tees cautioned . . . and the Dean warned . . . and Dr. Beutner droned . . . we spent
the time studying this first gathering ... of the men who were to be our class-
mates. . .and constant companions. . .for the next four years. . .and wondered
...whether we looked. . .as they... a bit worried ... slightly awed... a little
concerned . . . and a touch bewildered . . . and so ... it was . . .
October. . .and nine point zero zero. . .and the beginning of our medical
education. . .the tumult and the shouting were over. . .gone and far behind. . .
the good luck wishes of friends and relatives . . . there remained for us . . . only
a sinking feeling in the pit of the stomach ... as the chemistry department . . .
in full battle array . . . gave us our first inkling ... of what we were letting our-
selves in for. . .on that first morning. . .and that chem exam the first day. . .
define a normal solution. . .and we weren't even sure what a solution was. . .
Well. . .we were on the way. . .and we did lots of peculiar things those first
few weeks . . . we rushed madly for front seats in all the lectures . . . took copious
notes. . .sang the "alma mater". . .first guiltily. . .then loudly. . .and frequently
. . .bought reams of worthless notes from upper classmen. . .discovered that
those balconies afforded an excellent view of the nurses home. . .the "babes in
the woods". . .were learning fast. . .and so. . .we put a caboose on October. . .
and it was . . .
November . . . and our first examination . . . and the Histology department
almost convinced everyone. . .that these medical school exams weren't as
tough as they were cracked up to be . . . and then a week later . . . and the first
exam in physiological chem. . .and we weren't so sure. . .We moved into
anatomy lab... and bought our Gray's Anatomy. . .it seemed kind of the
authorities to give us that hour rest peroid after lunch... we came back to
earth with a thud however. . .when one of those pleasant strangers. . .always
roaming through the lab . . . stopped at our table to give us a quiz one day . . .
We held rowdy class meetings . . . while the founders of parliamentary pro-
cedure ... rested uneasy in their tombs. . .and for a week or so... the usual
142
hall chatter of... "I'll take Temple and six -"...was supplanted by... "I'll
vote for your man if ....".. .We discovered that the seniors didn't have the
market cornered on the nurses. . .in the Hahnemann Luncheonette. . .and that
a beakerful of boiling colored water... was an excellent way of convincing
the chem department. . .of one's industriousness. . .while one was out. . .enjoy-
ing a morning cup of coffee. . .The air. . .over any group of three or five gath-
ered in the hall. . .was thick with pennies. . .and if this form of wooing Lady
Luck was too slow... there was always the possibility of a crap game... in
the back of Room B. . .before Histology lecture. . .In the course of events. . .
came. . .Thanksgiving vacation ... and four days of welcome relief .. .from
proteins. . .and clavicles. . .and adnexogenesis. . .and so. . .rested. . .and with
a new lease on life. . .we came back to. . .
December. . .and what a December. . .three hectic weeks. . .the town alive
with Christmas spirit. . .spirit?. . .with a Histology exam impending. . .everyone
cheerful and happy . . . except us . . . with the approaching grand finale of the
physiological chem course. . .the chem exam wasn't bad enough. . .we had to
get our introduction to the firehouse "lecture room?" the same morning., .all
in all. . .a tough day. . .Then the final orals in chem. . .the fidgeting bunch on
the bench outside the Dean's office. . .the slowly (oh, so slowly) trickling sands
of that ten minute glass . . . the low murmur of voices in the hallway . . . Whad'e
ask ya?". . ."Wuz'e tough?". . .and the feeling we had of walking on air. . .
and kicking the clouds aside. . .as we finished with Dr. Hepburn. . .and emerg-
ed from his office. . .with his "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"...
ringing in our ears. . .We clung to tradition and gave a Christmas party for
Dr. Snyder. . .and sang "Arsphenamine". . .while the good Doctor listened. . .
and Miss Brady blushed. . .and Mike and Carlos rhumbaed . . . and Kissen
stripped. . .and then did Miss Brady blush. . .We breezed through the Histology
exam the next day. . .with our minds on train schedules. . .and home cooking
. . . and Christmas presents . . . stopped long enough ... on our way to trains . . .
to have some of Dr. Snyder's peanuts and pretzels. . .and so. . .the three hectic
weeks of December had passed. . .and we were still alive. . .and it was. . .
Christmas vacation. . .and a few weeks' respite from alarm clocks. . .and
restaurant food. . .It was nice to be called Doc. . .and hem and haw knowingly
. . .when the family asked you. . ."what to do about Johnny's cold". . .or "that
scratch on Mary's arm". . .and so. . .all too soon. . .we came back. . .to a New
Year. . .and. . .
January. . .Nineteen Thirty-Seven. . .and some New Year's Resolutions. . .
about the amount of studying we were going to do . . . and how we were going
to "knock them dead". . .the second semester. . .they were promptly forgotten
. . .and somehow or other. . .we had a whole new set of class officers. . .and
we analyzed everything from bananas to H & H custard pie. . .for Dr. Hepburn
. . .and we kept the third floor V.F.D. busy putting out ether fires. . .Half-way
through the month. . .we suddenly realized that Physical Chem. . .and Medical
Terminology. . .and History of Medicine. . .had final examinations attached to
them. . .and weren't just pleasant places. . .where the authorities supplied lec-
tures to lull us to sleep. . .and so. . .we recalled our New Year's Resolutions. . .
from the wastebaskets of our thoughts. . .and buckled down. . .and the day the
chem department . . . presented us with our final grades in physiological . . .
varied were the feelings. . .the pleasantly surprised "A's". . .the expected "B's"
...the unexpected "C's"...and the unwanted "D's"...and most of us were
over the first big hurdle in our quest for an M.D. . . .and so. . .the first semester
died . . . unlamented . . . and it was . . .
February. . .and a new semester. . .and we were one-eighth doctors. . .as
some of the boys put it. . .There were some exams. . .but they didn't bother us
any more. . .There was a class dance. . .where some of the class. . .and most
143
of the class treasury. . .passed out. . .and the bull sessions waxed hot. . .in the
old Kjeldahl room. . .while the more industrious ones ... chased Topfer Units
and enzymes ... for Dr. Pearson . . . and Dr. Hepburn . . . We grew tired of watch-
ing surgery clinics. . .in the amphitheatre. . .where we didn't belong... and
grew more interested. . .in the pool tables. . .in Hering Hall. . .which was out
of bounds too. . .We tried our hand. . .with some drastic results. . .at some of
Dr. Borneman's. . .triturations. . .and preparations. . .and histology course be-
gan to move a mile a minute. . . Neuro-histology . . .orals. . .slide quizzes. . .and
the big slide quiz . . . with Zerbe beating Abbott to the draw . . . making the whole
first section ... sit through ancient movies. . .while a bell ... clanged every
minute . . . across the hall . . . and so . . . came . . .
March. . .and our first exam in Clinical Chem. . .and the firehouse again
. . .but we were old hands at the game now. . .and its gloomy dankness could
no longer faze us . . . March . . . and seventy beakers of urine . . . bubbling merrily
over seventy Bunsen burners . . . informed everyone within a radius of a block
. . . that Spring . . . had come to Hahnemann . . . Spring . . . and Dr. Chandler
lurked in every corner of the third floor. . .and Pop Slocum and Jim . . .had their
busiest weeks . . . Spring . . . and the penny-matching took on new impetus . . .
and the balcony outside the chem lab . . . creaked and groaned . . . under the
J^&jS
weight of most of the assembled Freshman class. . .as the boys' thoughts lightly
turned. . .to the nurses. . .across the way. . .and down in the alley below. . .
Spring. . .with Histology over. . .and Anatomy now moving in earnest. . .and
it was. . .
April. . .and warm sunny afternoons spent. . .plucking at greasy muscles
. . .and tracing endless nerves. . .and the electrical tension one felt throughout
the entire lab. . .every Friday afternoon. . .just before the Anatomy department
descended ... en masse... for our weekly quiz sessions. . .the "hot foot" sup-
planting the "goose"... as the chief class diversion. . .and Dr. Phillips'...
"How's it going, Men". . .and getting hit with everything from a cadaver wrap-
ping. . .to a piece of chalk. . .and we partook. . .of Dr. Borneman's hospitality
...and his beer. . .and his cantharides. . .and. . .lo and behold... it was...
May . . . and the home stretch . . . and we had our first taste of the Blue and
Gold. . .and Hal Kemp made us like it. . .And it got hot. . .too hot to appreciate
Anatomy lab ... so we studied our anatomy in queer places . . . like Shibe Park
. . . and the roof of the Parkway Library . . . and over cokes ... in the Luncheon-
ette . . . and as the virulent Spring Fever . . . gnawed at our vitals . . . the member-
ship of Cholly Hoyt's T.G.I.S. Society grew by leaps and bounds... for eight
144
.months had gone by. . .and we were tired of Anatomy. . .and Chemistry. . .
and Pharmacy. . .and of each other. . .and so. . .after an interminable period
. . . May . . . became . . .
June. . .so for a few days. . .anatomy chased chemistry. . .and chemistry
chased pharmacy. . .and pharmacy chased neuro-anatomy . . .in our troubled
dreams... and there we were... the "babes in the woods"... of eight short
months ago ... somewhat wiser. . .slightly chastened ... very weary... but no
longer bewildered. . .all. . .eager to take a crack. . .at the much malinged. . .
Sophomore year. . .and so... the summer passed... and it was...
September. . .Nineteen Thirty-Seven. . .and we were beginning. . . so they
say... the toughest. . .of our four years at Hahnemann. . .and the Freshman
year was already. . .only a vague collection of incidents. . .pleasant and un-
pleasant. . .somewhere in the distant past. . .and we were a tanned and healthy
bunch. . .resembling little. . .the drooping. . .weary group. . .which had parted
company in June. . .So. . .after a few days reminiscing. . .about the re-exams
...and who was back. . .and who wasn't... and the newcomers. . .amongst
the blondes. . .and brunettes ... on Spring Garden. . .and Green Street. . .we
moved into. . .
October. . .and the opening exercises again. . .and we wondered whether
we hal looked as sorrowful . . . the year before ... as the new crew of Freshmen
did. . .And Physiology lab. . .we won't forget those first few periods. . .with our
tempers worn raw. . .by the vagaries of rubber bands. . .and elastic springs. . .
and writing levers. . .with the street cars rumbling by outside... and the scrawled
signature of an instructor. . .on a smoked drum. . .the almost unattainable goal
of our labors. . .and trooping downstairs. . .long after five o'clock. . .grimy with
smudge and shellac. . .and perhaps some vague nostalgia. . .for those de-
parted days of our Freshman year. . .when no laboratory ever went beyond
the five o'clock bell. . .And Anatomy. . .with us again. . .and once again. . .the
little cubicles. . .on the second floor front. . .resounded with. . ."Duke and four"
...and "Penn and nine"... and the blackboards. . .confronted one with the
brachial . . . and cervical plexuses ... in every color of the spectrum . . . and be-
tween the dirty jokes . . . the horseplay . . . and the football . . . we managed to
squeeze in a little anatomy. . .and just as we were beginning to realize. . .that
Bacteriology was no picnic ... it was . . .
November. . .which passed rather swiftly. . .while we were undergoing the
daily struggle for survival in Bac. lab... the scourges of mankind. . .weren't
very interesting as little blue or pink dots under our lenses. . .and anyway. . .
145
an afternoon spent in the lab. . .would convince anyone that we had some
much better scourges in the class. . .and so. . .in the light of flaming cotton
plugs. . .neath arching streams of water coming from all sides... on stools
thoughtfully dampened before we sat on them. . .and ducking little missiles
like test tubes or wadded gauze. . .we enjoyed our Bacteriology lab. . .while
the faithful few. . .remained glued to their scopes. . .oblivious to the din above
. . .Dr. Sylvis. . .combined some old neuro-anatomy . . .with some new jokes. . .
but it was still our favorite siesta hour. . .and of the Navy men could sleep. . .
why couldn't we. . .and Dr. Beutner. . .covered everything but the floors. . .of
his lecture rooms. . .with showcards containing "ze formulae". . .and Peck. . .
bought every pharmacology text in print . . . and so . . . the month ended . . . and
with it. . .remember. . ."Dear Father: I'm writing this in the Bacteriology Lab-
oratory, where we are studying, etc. ". . .and so. . .with the wisecracks con-
cerning that exam ringing in our ears. . .we left. . .for Thanksgiving vacation
. . .and came back. . .to find the holiday spirit abroad in the town. . . for it
was. . .
December. . .with Dr. Scott rambling through the nervous system. . .while
we filled countless pages of notes. . .and sent acres of frogs to their Valhalla. . .
in the lab. . .And we sang "Jingle Bells". . .with instrumental accompaniment
. . . every day . . . for Dr. Sappington . . . who probably detected a plaintive note
. . .in that jolly tune. . .as the pages of the Bacteriology notes dwindled. . .and
our concern . . . over coming events . . . mounted . . . Christmas intervened . . . how-
ever. . .so after depleting the class treasury to buy gifts for every faculty man
in sight . . . we went home . . . and while the grim spectre of the approaching Bac
orals. . .hovered somewhere in the background. . .we enjoyed ourselves. . .and
hemmed and hawed a bit more pompously. . .when someone asked us what
they should do "about Johnn's cold"... and with staph and strep. . .vague
annoying figures . . . somewhere in the back of our minds . . . we returned to . . .
January . . . Nineteen Thirty-Eight ... a new year . . . and a dawning realiza-
tion of just why the Sophomore year was considered tough. . .the pressure was
on. . .and we were lost. . .in a bewildering maze of. . .duodenal relations. . .
and life cycles of filiaria. . .and narcosis. . .and nerve synapses. . .and implied
contracts. . .and the class was enveloped in an all-pervading gloom. . .which
quieted the Bac lab . . . and lessened the production of paper airplanes . . . and
even the most valiant. . .put away their capillary pipettes. . .and their rubber
bands. . .and thus. . .in a glare of midnight oil. . .January expired. . .and we
had. . .all too soon we thought. . .
February. . .and the week of semester finals was upon us. . .an exolosive
four days. . .with the last day finding us in the Bac lab ... waiting for our
orals . . . with Miss McDevitt tolling off our doom in groups of threes . . . while
some roamed aimlessly. . .and some matched pennies. . .and some sat staring
. . .trying to dissociate arabinose. . .from mannose. . .from hookworms. . .from
capsules. . .Well. . .it ended. . .and exam week was over. . .and the semester
was over. . .and we. . .were just about over. . .So. . .we celebrated. . .with a
class dance. . .and once again. . .the class treasury. . .gave up the gohst. . .
and with the celebrating over. . .came the knowledge that things were hap-
pening about us... the second semester was gaining momentum. . .and it
began to feel like a medical school . . . with Dr. Bristol . . . teaching some Minor
Surgery. . .along with some of the queerer doings of the folks at Allentown. . .
and there was even a course called Elementary Medicine. . .and we bought
stetchoscopes . . . and carried them . . . three months before we needed them in
Physical Diagnosis. . .and we puzzled a bit. . .over just what that Psycho-
biology course was about. . .and so. . .with the year at last beginning to show
some rhyme and reason. . .
146
March. . .was upon us. . .and we walked around. . .percussing doors and
walls. . .and we sweated and fumed. . .trying to get cannualas into various
places where they didn't belong. . .in dogs and cats. . .and we watched the
Schuylkill River turned into drinking water. . .and a few weeks later saw that
water. . .returned to the Delaware ... as sewage. . .and we player switch...
for Dr. Beutner. . .and Dr. Pearson showed us a dozen new ways of making a
guinea pig feel bad. . .and before we knew it. . .another Spring had caught up
with us. . .along with. . .
April. . .and the urge to linger until the very last minutes of the lunch hour
... in laughing groups ... on the shady side of Fifteenth Street . . . then regret-
fully trail off to class. . .Spring. . .and white shoes. . .and paper airplanes. . .
and the lost art of the "hot foot" revived again. . .Spring. . .and the Path De-
partment. . .providing complications. . .so. . .we had another session. . .with
Miss McDevitt. . .and the path lab. . .while Dr. Young's attendance. . .dwindled
until only the old faithfuls remained. . .and the fourth floor. . .resembled a field
station. . .after the Marne. . .as Dr. Buck taught us how to do our patients up
in neat packages. . .and we had with us. . .
May. . .and Dr. Beutner was still talking about "Narcotics". . .and we were
practically convinced that. . ."failure to x-ray fractures before and after setting"
. . .was frowned upon in the best medical circles. . .and Dr. Shollenberg was
showing signs of running out of cross-sections to talk about. . .while Dr. Scott
was showing no signs of running out of systems to talk about. . .and some of
the conscientious lads. . .tried to see. . .fibrosis. . .and lymphocytic infiltration
. . .for Dr. Sappington's sake. . .while most of us. . .went for a walk. . .or to a
ball game. . .instead. . .and somebody completed our joy. . .by lettting Anat-
omy into the curricula again. . .and there we were. . .hounded from pillar to
post again. . .it felt like January. • -but it was. . .
June. . .so we polished off the finals. . .and the year. . .and we were half-
way there . . . measured by the faculty standards . . . we had a fair groundwork
for our clinical years. . .but we had our own standards. . .we could hold our
beer. . .we could hit a dartboard at five yards. . .we knew every nurse in the
hospital. . .in fact. . .there wasn't a thing the Seniors could do that we couldn't
. . .so. . .the tough Sophomore year was over. . .and they could bring on. . .
their "clinical years". . .and so. . .we went to camps. . .and some became life-
guards. . .and some swung picks and shovels. . .and most of us just loafed. . .
until . . .
October. . .Nineteen Thirty-Eight. . .and we came back. . Juniors. . .the
laboratory and didactic work. . .far behind us. . .or so we thought. . .and this
was one of the "clinical years". . .and we were all set to spend our time. . .
parading around the hospital . . . smiling condenscendingly at poor benighted
Freshmen and Sophomores. . .so the class businessmen. . .did a land office
business. . .in thermometers. . .and percussion hammers. . .and flashlights...
Well . . . the delusion was nice while it lasted . . . but the faculty must have
thought the altitude too rare for us. . .because it wasn't long. . .until we were
again boiling urine . . . this time for Dr. Sappington . . . the surroundings were
different. . .but the odor was the same. . .and Dr. Sylvis. . .dug up the nice
black boxes of slides. . .which had plagued us through the first two years. . .
and we still weren't sure we saw tumor cells. . .Even the water on our stools. . .
had that old familiar feeling. . .when we sat in it. . .and so. . .with the realiza-
tion this. . ."clinical year"... was but a snare and a delusion. . .we settled
down to work. . .and were just beginning to understand the intracicies of the
Junior schedule. . .and feeling good about our ability to find the majority of
classes. . .when it was. . .
1 17
November. . .and we trekked. . .from Hering Hall. . .to the "Annex". . .and
back to Hering Hall... and back again to the "Annex" .. .and the drizzle of
lecture notes became a storm . . . and the storm became a blizzard . . . and we
drowned ... in a flood of lecture notes . . . that showed no signs of relenting . . .
and the long days. . .became a succession of lectures. . .and courses ... Dr.
Mercer . . . pounded Obstetrics into us . . . and Dr. Lafferty . . . tried to drag it out
. . .we learned about women. . .from Dr. Frosch. . .and what they can do to
men . . . from Dr. Kenworthy . . . We stopped long enough to hold a class dance
). .and this time... since it wasn't official ... the class treasury lived through
it. . .but it was rather quiet. . .because we wern't used to bright ballroom lights
. . .after the gloom of the "Annex". . .and our hands weer far more accustomed
to the grip of a fountain pen . . . than the waist of a female . . . and Thanksgiving
vacation came ... to briefly dam . . . the rising tide ... of lecture notes ... so we
all went home . . . and sprinkled our conversations . . . with cryptic remarks as . . .
"LOA". . .and "G-I". . .and "OBS" and "GYN". . .and "G-U". . .it didn't do any
harm. . .and helped the folks realize we were Juniors. . .even if we didn't feel
that way . . . and so we dragged our long and weary faces . . . back once again
to mingle with. . .the cheerful holiday crowds. . .for it was. . .
December. . .and a close observer. . .could see the earliest signs of the
class' spirit returning ... with now and then. . .a paper airplane. . .floating
gently downward. . .or the thud of a well-aimed paper wad. . .awakening us
from our lethargy. . .and darned if the curriculum wasn't right. . .we were
seeing patients. . .so it must be a "clinical year". . .Dr. Ferguson. . .was hand-
ing us a bedside manner. . .with the emphasis on the hands. . .and we had
reached the point. . .where we could examine a female chest. . .for Dr.
McDeldowney . . .without wanting to hide under the bed. . .and we were going
through the stage . . . where every lub . . . and dub . . . sounded like a murmur . . .
but in spite of the patients. . .the lecture notes mounted higher. . .and the class
ego . . . received another boost . . . when the Seniors departed for Allenown . . .
and we were masters of all we surveyed. . .for a week. . .We didn't have much
opportunity to enjoy our exalted position. . .however. . .because the first ten
week section . . . ended at the same time . . . and we received our first taste ... of
the bane of all Junior existence. . .exams. . .and there it was Christmas again
... so we all went home . . . and this time . . . when the neighbor asked us . . .
what to do "about Johnny's cold"... we told them... in five or ten thousand
well-chosen words. . .and we had an enjoyable time. . .until along about the
last quarter of the Rose Bowl game . . . when it occurred to a lot of us . . . that Dr.
Sappington . . . and his department . . . were going to request the pleasure of our
company ... at a little session . . . soon after we got back . . . so . . . we came back
... a bit worried . . . to . . .
148
January. . .Nineteen Thirty-Nine. . .and there was a brief lull before the
storm. . .and we became a self-appointed body of building inspectors. . .watch-
ing closely. . .every detail of construction in the new building. . .to see that
nothing went wrong with our pride and joy. . .when suddenly. . .an explosion
. . .and someone had put the order for. . .exams B.I.D. and T.I.D. . . .on our
chart... so we told them ... about ... hypochromic macrocytic anemias. . .and
primary beta radiations. . .and bronchophony. . .and collecting sewers. . .and
retroversion. . .and caloric requirements. . .and breast milk. . .and modalities
. . .and rest, rubber sheets and a hand dip at the door. . .and so. . .in between
a couple of exams. . .
February. . .was born. . .and as we dashed through the Hygiene exam. . .
the last one of exam week. . .most of us. . .were incapable of any feeling. . .
except one of. . .overwhelming relief. . .But we didn't get a chance to stop
bouncing ... as we resumed the trek . . . and the lecture notes reached moun-
tainous proportions. . .Dr. Ashcraft. . .fished up prostate after prostate. . .for our
edification. . .and Dr. Schofield matched him. . .with hemorrhoid after hemor-
rhoid. . .and Dr. Clemmer. . .introduced us to all the things that could happen
to. . ."the old girl". . .before, during and after. . .a visit from the stork. . .and
in the "Annex" . . .we got all tangled up in forceps. . .while disputing the "slick-
ness of Mother Nature". . .with Dr. Mercer. . .and Dr. Kirby. . .was just getting
warmed up on. . ."REST, both mental and physical". . .and while we waited. . .
for Dr. Steinhilber. . .to lecture on one disease. . .with a good prognosis. . .the
month died . . . and it was . . .
March. . .and we longed a bit. . .for the constant. . .hundred and five
degree temperature of the Fire House ... as the air conditioners ... in the new
lecture rooms. . .blew hot. . .and cold. . .but never temperate. . .and the stacks
of lecture notes. . .began to worry us a little. . .when our thoughts drifted to
May . . . whence we know . . . would come the reckoning . . . but the stacks grew
. . .unheeding. . .as Dr. Leopold. . .traced gut and omentum all over the place
. . .and Dr. Boericke. . .mentioned for the nteenth time. . .bloating. . .and acid
eructations . . . and foul offensive discharges . . . and it sounded exactly the same
... as all the drugs ... of all the lectures past . . . and scattered midst the note
taking. . .we saw a patient or two. . .three weeks of G-U dispensary. . .without
getting above the belt once. . .and Pediatrics ward assignments. . .providing a
pleasant opportunity to play with toys. . .and renew our acquaintance. . .with
Tom Swift. . .and the Rover Boys. . .and with Dr. Kirby. . .reiterating. . ."REST"
. . . we had . . .
April . . . and another Spring . . . and anyone . . . who faced the front ... in
the amphitheatre. . .while someone in the back had a gown handy. . .left
149
hmiself wide open ... for anything from a simple bruise ... to a compound frac-
ture of the skull... And we were getting organ accompaniment. . .to most of
the lectures in Rooms A and B. . .and Dr. Sylvis. . .had only to look up and
point a finger. . .and they could hear our answering. . ."REST, SUNSHINE AND
HYPERNUTRITION"...at City Hall. . .And some playful soul. . .touched a
match to a theormostat . . . and the air conditioners . . . ceased blowing . . . even
hot and cold. . .And the class marksmen discovered. . .that BB shot. . .could be
aimed more accurately . . . and get a much better reaction . . . than paper wads
... so that after Dr. Frank turned out the lights . . . the center of a tornado . . .
was much safer... than Room A. . .and still. . .the lecture notes mounted...
and Dr. Kirby. . .was still reiterating. . ."REST". . .as the month. . .gave way
to. ..
May. . .and more juniors showed up for the Blue and Gold. . .and Glen
Gray. . .than had been turning up for most classes. . .and lots of the boys. . .
still didn't know. . .what Dr. Miley. . .or Dr. Geckeler. . .looked like. . .and they
posted an exam schedule in the office . . . and we looked at it every ten minutes
. . . but they were way ahead of us . . . because every time we looked . . . there
were two or three more exams . . . on it . . . and we were tired ... of sitting . . . and
writing. . .and lectures. . .and clinics. . .and ourselves. . .and each other. . .and
the lecture notes mounted. . .as Dr. Goldsmith sped. . .and Dr. Hollis galloped
...and Dr. Lane pounded. . .and Dr. Carpenter cajoled. . .till we felt... as
though our heads would burst . . . with the addition of one more medical fact . . .
and we looked again. . .and the exam schedule had taken on. . .a second
sheet... and the lecture noes... still mounted. . .until finally .. .they wavered
. . .and toppled over upon us. . .and. . .the reckoning had come. . .and some-
how . . . about ten days . . . and twenty exams later ... it was . . .
June . . . and some more exams . . . was it twenty-five ... or thirty-five ... or
fifty exams. . .we took. . .We were weary. . .and if we didn't know the answers
. . .the guy next to us did. . .and if he didn't. . .then the devil with it. . .because
we were tired. . .and we didn't care if the school burnt down. . .or they threw
us out. . .or if they gave medicine back to the witch doctors. . .But it was over
. . .and even the prospect of glorious Seniorhood. . .failed to stir our pulses. . .
and the Junior year was over. . .and we were tired. . .and blase. . .and. . .we
didn't care. . .which was the attitude that clung to us. . .all summer. . .through
Junior internships. . .and camp jobs. . .and loafing. . .and was still with us. . .
when we returned to . . .
October. . .Nineteen Thirty-Nine. . .and the promised land of the Senior
year . . . and the world was our apple . . . And we marveled a bit ... at the dif-
ference. . .that the three tonsillectomies. . .and seven lumbar punctures. . .and
ninety -eight intravenouses . . .which most of us had done during junior intern-
ships .... had wrought in the appearance of our fellow classmates . . . the boys
were beginning to look like Doctors. . .and the talk... "In my clinical ex-
perience ". . ."So I told the Chief ". . .and thus. . .all the imperceptible
changes . . . which had been going on for three years . . . had crystallized . . . over
the summer. . .So. . .with eight long months. . .until June. . .and graduation. . .
we commandeered the pool tables . . . and dart board in Hering Hall . . . and the
pinball machine in the Luncheonette. . .and the hall in front of the cage for
our "bull sessions". . .for these were the pursuits of Seniors ... from time im-
memorial . . . and it was only ■ . •
November . . . and we still had seven months of our sentence to serve out . . .
but the days were moving fast. . .especially for those who were starting them
at noon. . .and Dr. Klopp was broadcasting. . .on the Room A and B hook-up. . .
and we got "the zykoses". . .and the Juniors had the fun. . .and the odds were
three to one. . .that any collection of two or more seniors. . .thrown together. . .
would be talking about internships . . . And we started working on our second
150
carload. . .of Phenobarb. Cap. gr. ss...in the Medical Dispensary. . .and Dr.
Boericke. . .was still mentioning. . .belching. . .and sour eructations. . .and foul
secretions. . .for every drug in the book. . .and the Medical section. . .blossom-
ed out in boutonierres . . .every day. . .while the sixth floor nurses. . .wondered
what happened to all those flowers. . .every morning. . .And by this time. . .the
Industrial Medicine lecture. . .had become a lonelier place... than some of
the far reaches of Frankford. . .And so. . .it came to be Thanksgiving. . .and
we took some time off. . .to go home and scare the family. . .with our newly
acquired professional dignity. . .and chase internships. . .and eventually came
back to . . .
December. . .and still... time on our hands... and only three weeks to
go. . .till Allentown. . .which we spent writing. . ."Patient feels about same, no
new complaints". . .on student sheets... in the wards. . .and wondering...
whether we would ever see a case of... Typhoid Fever. . .and waiting for
hospital elevators. . .and waiting for Miss Whelan. . .to fill out requests. . .and
while waiting for all these. . .we took a few exams. . .and so. . .we waited out
December. . .and it was. . .Allentown. . .here we come. . .and the ride up. . .
with the ingenuity of the Senior class... soon overcoming the thoughtfulness
of the street car company. . .who had removed bells. . .and nailed down every-
thing movable in the cars. . .but had forgotten. . .that someone might venture
into a lavatory . . . and so . . . having surmounted obstacles like hot boxes . . .
and broken windows. . .we swarmed into the Americus. . .and the school
authorities. . .and the Allentown Police. . .and the hotel management. . .crossed
their fingers. . .while we settled down. . .for our week's stay there. . .which was
rather quiet. . .considering our reputation for playfulness. . .So we spent a
week. . .of mornings. . .and afternoons. . .walking through cheerless wards. . .
steeped in the odor of misery. . .and listening to the tales. . .of one who was
"backed up against a cellar door". . .and one who was railroaded. . .and Dr.
Hoffman's. . ."Are you happy here". . .through the long afternoons. . .and we
sought devious means at night... to overcome the depression. . .which the
days wrought on us... the town had its greatest per capita consumption of
beer... in its history ... that week. . .and a portion of the class. . .discovered
that they learn their crap shooting well. . .in Puerto Rico. . .and another portion
discovered. . .that the business manager of their yearbook. . .was the only
guy in the class. . .who could fill in an inside straight consistently. . .and the
boys with sweethearts . . . sat around the hotel lobby at night . . . while the boys
with wives back home. . .made the most of their freedom. . .and "The Daugh-
ters of Israel". . .held a highly successful dance. . .and some o fthe boys grew
so expert. . .that they could drop a hard roll. . .in a bowl of soup. . .at twenty

THE SENIOR CLASS
of
Hahnemann Medical College
LETS DOWN ITS
HAIR WITH
THE MANIC
OF
1940
196
He who knows not, and knows that he knows not.
Is a Freshman — poor fellow
He who knows, and knows not that he knows,
Is a Sophomore — and he'll probably forget it
He who knows, and knows that he knows,
Is a Junior — and that's what he thinks
He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not
Is a enior — and he'd better watch out
for the Medical Council.
As you, the members of the Class of 1940, embark upon your medical
careers, the world lies in chaos about you (but they haven't seen any-
thing yet). It therefore behooves you, as physicians, to not only concern
yourselves with the healing of the poor benighted individuals who pre-
sent themselves to you (mostly your wife's relatives), but also in a larger
measure with the healing of the evils which beset the world about you —
for both of these I strongly recommend the indicated remedy in the 12X
potency.
Only the other day, I had lunch with a very excellent gentleman, un-
fortunately a graduate of this institution, who bemoaned the fact that the
young physicians one meets today see far more beauty in the engraving
on a ten dollar bill, than they do in a perfectly executed tenth-normal
equivalent. This was, I sorrowfully admitted, a true statement — and just
between you and me — a damn good idea. I hastened to assure him, how-
ever, that the men of the Class of 1940 were not of a type that would over-
ly concern themselves with the beauties of ten dollar bills — especially if
anyone had a twenty handy.
So, as you go forth, armed with naught but your diploma (only one
to a customer), to find your niche in life, I would like to leave this mes-
sage with you (and where you leave it is your own business). Fight hard,
fight fair, vote Republi — (oops, wrong pep talk), be loyal to your school
(you may want to get your brother in some day), and be sooner caught in
public without your trousers — than without your handy pocket case and
its four hundred and thirty-nine (1930 Census figures) useful remedies.
Very hazily yours.

SENIORS
Editor's Note: A Senior section with out pictures is like Strance without
Strauss, but this senior section is not going to have any individual pictures
because:
1. We'd have to talk George Engelhard into paying the
sitting fee again.
2. We'd again have to convince Amar, and Cavalli, and
Shaughnessy, and a half-dozen others that they really
DO look like that.
3. Lastly — look at the results from the pictures that were
taken.
So, in order to save ourselves all this woe, we will resort to a device with
which some of you are no doubt familiar, and make it . . .
The Last Roll Call
ABBOTT — who had better stay away from the post-mortem rooms next year
lest some undertaker mistake that lethargy for true rigor mortis.
ABERANT — Snuffy sits in the back at all the lectures to save the profs the
trouble of looking over his head.
ACKERMAN — who seemed to be having a lot more fun with the year-book
secretary, than he was having with the year-book.
AMAR — who checked out of chem lab with only the wire gauze left in his
locker — he couldn't break that.
AMATO — John was, undoubtedly, Greene Street's most promising rectal
specialist.
ARSUAGA — It got so bad with Larry handling the phone, that Dr. Bernstein
was afraid to call the dispensary.
BEGENAU — whose rat races either ended up with three nurses and three hun-
dred students, or vice versa.
198
BENEDETTI — whose only competitor for pediatrics samples was Minelli, until
Sciuto started laying away supplies for coming events.
BENKO — "Well, I have a case down at Broad Street Hospital now, Doctor ".
BERIO-SUAREZ — who with one hot pair of dice, broke several morales, to soy-
nothing of a few medical students, at Allentown.
BOBECK — somehow or other, he even escaped the eagle eye of Dr. Bernstein.
BOLINGER — a couple of times, we thought they were going to have to call in
the engineers to extract Bolly from one of those seats he got tangled up in.
BONTEMPO— "hand me another dart, and this time I'll hit the board."
BRADLEY — he reached the point where he was slicing meat so thin for Pop
Dion, that Dr. Sappington sent the tissue room technicians down to watch
his technique.
BUECHLE — no matter how noisy the class, there was always a hush right
before they hit Beak's name on the roll.
BURNS — who spent the first two years developing the art of making fine paper-
wads, only to see them replaced by BB shot in the Junior year.
BUXEDA — Alice in Wonderland — the South American way.
CANTON — who could do more tricks with a rolled-up surgical gown, than
Hubbell could do with a baseball, but couldn't get the Dean to install
pari-mutuels.
CARP — the only patients in whom he couldn't find endocrinopathies were Dr.
Klopp's — but then, we were only in Allentown a week.
CAVALLI — a roaring voice, which came to class only to argue with Cerulli.
CERULLI — the gyn patients all wanted to be treated by that fellow who looked
like Edward G. Robinson.
CETTA — the Kings Kounty Kid was really disappointed when he discovered
just where babies did come from during that Junior internship.
CIOTOLA — Augie found that the pleasantest way to make ward rounds at
Allentown, was to follow the nurses.
1940
199
MEDIC
CLARKSON — he supplied the cigarettes for four years — and Engelhard sup-
plied the habit.
COREY — some of those conversations may have made sense to the patients
at Woodville, but
CORTESE — it seems that the only reason he ever ventured into the hospital,
was to look for Cetta and Ciotola.
COUNIHAN — the guy who even hod Dr. Lafferty bewildered — he'll probably
end up by giving the state board examiners a quizz.
CRONLUND — an introitus which would take the largest speculum the gyn dis-
pensary could supply, was still a little too small to admit one of his fingers.
DARNELL — the front row's foremost citizen didn't know what to do with his
hands, when the profs said — "You needn't take notes on this".
D E CARO — the patients at Allentown got a break, when the school sent Joe
up for them to see.
DERKACH — Steve was going to get his year-book by the middle of May, if we
had to shove it down his throat.
D1ERWECHTER — a right rectus incision started at the costal margin at one end,
and usually ended up with Rube and his candid camera at the other end.
D!MASSA — the boys always knew that the lecture hour was approximately
one-fourth finished when Ernie came in.
EHRHART — to whom we are also going to deliver a year-book personally, and
not via the throat.
ELCANESS — the only thing that pleased Elky in four years was — you guessed
it — Elcaness.
ENGLEHARD — so George took out a pack of cigarettes — and fifty-three Seniors
fainted.
ENGLE — we'll never know whether or not he carried Verga across the threshold
at Allentown.
ERVIN — they had to keep Cutey out of the Pediatrics Wards for fear that some-
one would slap him into a bed.
EVANS, H. — whose tenure as social chairman for the "Daughters of Israel"
was short but highly successful.
5V»
200
EVANS, R. — we thought he was spending so much time in the amphitheatre
because he was interested in surgery.
FASO — one of the original Y. M. C. A. boys who managed to "fenagle" through.
FULTON — they called Pat T. B. — and they didn't mean Koch — they meant three
beers.
GLASSMAN — Leo started worrying in Medical Terminology — and was still at
it the day they handed us our diplomas.
GOFF — who managed to sandwich a medical education in between trips to
Pittsburgh.
GORDON — Dr. Snyder was going to sue him for plagiarism after he graded
that first histology exam.
GOYANNES — they were setting their clocks by Ev at the Gladstone, when he
passed through the lobby on his way to school, they knew it was noon.
GREIDER — Les was two steps ahead of the class when ti came to knowing
about the care and feeding of infants.
GROSS — after a while, the class got tired of singing "We're a bunch of ",
but nobody could convince Gross of the fact.
GRUBER — the standard technique for preparing the operative field in any of the
surgical clinics always included getting Bill out of the way.
HAIN — the farm's loss is our Hain.
HAMMERMAN — who intended to get his tuitions worth if he had to kill every
dispensary patient in the place.
HARRISON — swing and sway — the Tavern way — any Friday night.
HENDRICKSON — refrected by every optholmologist on the staff, and the dart
board still wasn't any easier to hit.
HERLEY — one of the front row reflectors that helped to get the light to the back
of the room.
HOLLAND — the cockroach population of Minnesota is literally trembling in its
boots.
HOPPING — the poker games at Allentown were a lot tougher than the heart
games in Hering Hall.
HOYT — the Major didn't expect us to believe those stories, but the least we
could do was listen to them.
1940
201
MEDIC
HUMMEL — Napoleon had his Waterloo, but all Fritz did was call the roll once
in the Sophomore year.
KANNAPEL--A1 was well in the running in the collegiate clothes competition
until McDonough showed up in that green jacket.
KARPAWICH — the only nurse he didn't call by first name wos Miss Lysle —
and she didn't hang out in the Luncheonette.
KISSEN — the boys were quite sure that the editor of the class newspaper was
smoking lochia pads in that pipe of his.
KOPF — who became so expert, that he could play Yankee Doodle on the pin-
ball machine in the Luncehonette.
KRAUSE — who was always the dispensary chief until examination day rolled
around.
LANG — a most even-tempered fellow — always griping.
LENAHAN — who spent so much time in Orthopedics dispensary in his Junior
year that people thought he was one of the fixtures.
LENOCI — who "Mae'd" his way through medical school without selling maga-
zine subscriptions.
LEONARD — "Now the way we play at the firehouse".
LEYRER — and what will the "Blonde Bombshell" do now?
LITMAN — he's looking for a rotating internship that includes three months for
worrying.
LOFTUS — inasmuch as this is the last roll call, let's make it an unusual one,
and write down for Johnny — present.
LUDWIG — the demon pharmacist who spent four years with Sumers, Meltzer,
and Oiler trying to get a word in edgewise.
MARIN — the suregon had two assistants but all the anaesthetist had was
Marin.
M c DONOUGH — we wern't sure whether the Brown Prep students were coming
over to see the latest thing that Mac was wearing, or to watch operations.
202
MELLIES — Red was a handy man to have on an anatomy table when Dr.
Kuemmel dropped around because when those two started talking cameras
— the Doc forgot all about quizzing.
MELTZER — we might have known that Meltzer and Oiler would take an intern-
ship together — they've been talking steadily for four years now and there
is still so much to be said.
MERKLIN — we don't know how he does it — but you could set Tony down in
the middle of wildest Siberia, and the betting would be even that he'd
have the telephone numbers of a dozen blondes inside of twenty-four
hours.
MEYERS — we never did believe the rumor that they had to furnish a room at
the Americus just like the Alumni office before they could get Johnny to
move in.
MILICI — nobody envied him his roommate. Poor John!
MILNAMOW — we'd like to be around for the fun when he starts to pass out
those "nuggets" on his state board exams.
MINELLI — he and Minerva weren't seeing enough of the patients in G-U dis-
pensary, so that used to follow them up in that Race Street poolroom.
MINERVA — the Alabama flash wit da Brooklyn accent will probably be heck-
ling the speaker on graduation day — he hasn't missed anyone yet.
MULLIGAN — that smile that Mulligan is wearing these days probably means
that a joke someone told him back in the Sophomore year finally did bore
its way in there.
MUNSIE — the first herald of a warm spring would be Wallie stripped down to
his undershirt in the air-conditioned (?) lecture rooms.
MURPHY — the man who — always had a little stuff lined up, quit wearing that
"iron Kelly" the day a freshman asked him for his autograph.
NELK — the chief reason our advertising manager didn't get to a lot of those
lectures was because he didn't know where Room C was.
OLLER — we never could figure out how he managed to keep up a running-fire
conversation with Meltzer, play Ghost with Glassman, and take lecture
notes all at once.

PARKER — who has enough candid camera evidence on most of the boys to
enable him to live the comfortable life of a blackmailer for the rest of his
days.
PENDOLA — whom the boys dubbed — "The pregnant penguin from Brooklyn" —
but there couldn't be a fundus that would go that high.
PONTARELLI — after four years of sitting between Meltzer and Oiler during
lectures, the only place Ponty could intern where he would feel at home
would be a boiler factory.
PULLEN — Lee didn't care whether he graduated cum laude or not — all he
wanted to do was beat Weber just once in a twenty-five point game.
PUMA — Sam still claims that it was the fine print of those Sophorome bacter-
iology notes which spoiled his batting eye.
PUPEK — who is bound to become a cardiologist, since he's been fixing "tickers"
for years.
RAMIREZ-SMITH — who was one of Murphy's original "Gitchy-gitchies".
RIEHS — and there wasn't a better "three whites" shooter in the class.
RIVERA-LUGO — Carlos was the only lad in the class who could talk party with
"the Duchess" — and he made the most of it.
ROGERS, J. — we didn't recognize Jim for the first couple of weeks, with that
new name, but it all came back the minute we saw him with his hand on
a prof's shoulder — buzing in his ear in that old Rogokos manner.
ROGERS, W. — he didn't mind dropping down one place on the roll, but he
did get a little sore when his "brother" thought their grades were mixed.
ROJAS-DAPORTA — they're going to have to give him a twenty-four sheet bill-
board on graduation day because they won't be able to get all that name
on one diploma.
SANABRIA — somehow it's easier to picture Ulyses sitting by a fireside, decked
out in a shawl and lace cap, knitting socks, than it is to picture him
amongst all those great big burly med students.
SCANLAN — we often wondered whether or not Dave just didn't want to take
notes, or whether he never had a fountain-pen or pencil.
SCHARF — Pasteur and Koch and all the rest were certainly lucky that the man
with the face like the Jolly-Boy kite ads wasn't born a couple of centuries
sooner — according to Scharf.
SCHIFALACOUA— Tsk, tsk, tsk— such an insult to Culbertson.
SCIUTO — he took such an awful lot from the sixth floor.
SERENA — who was so full of hot air that they wanted to assign a couple of
N. Y. A. boys to act as his ground crew.
SHAUGHNESSY — and of course nobody ever dreamed that he was Irish until
he showed up in that green necktie on St. Patrick's day this year.
SHORE — Sid was never quite sure just where that sciatic nerve did go to, but
then Dr. Phillips never asked him the odds on the Oshkosh Tech — Mineola
Aggies football game, either.
SHOWERS — Shadow wanted to know what those guys wanted for four bucks
a couple — the Minneapolis Symphony!
SMERZNAK — one of de boys dat wuz in de know!
SPAGNUOLO — they had to convince Pete that it wasn't a diabolic plot to get
him in wrong with the faculty, before they could even get him to play
the piano.
STONER — if the other two people in Mt. Joy are that quiet, the silence must be
ominous when Russ goes home for a vacation.
STEGURA — We're not quite sure how a barber pole is going to look with
M.D. painted on it.
STRANCE — Hurrah for the western spaces
The home of the wheat and the corn
STRAUSS — Where the Strauss's look only at Strances
And the Strances look only with scorn.
STREETS — Ben worried that hair-line back at least two inches over the four-
year period, but the waist-line didn't keep up the pace.
SOULIOTIS — our nomination for the best trick of the decade was Paul's going
through four years at Hahnemann before discovering that his last name
was one letter shy.
SUMERS — it wasn't the mustache that annoyed the boys so much, it was just
some of the words he used to strain through it, that got their goat.

SUTTON — any barroom in town was willing to offer a southpaw dart-shooter a
contract, but Big John couldn't see any future in it, so he stuck to Hering
Hall.
TARLOWSKI — who brings back to mind that old adage about — "Be true to
your teeth or else they'll be false to you".
TELGE — the Black Turk had political aspirations for three years, but the
closest he ever got was serving sandwiches to Verga in the Luncheonette.
TERRELL — and if Terrel hadn't been elected president of Student Institute he
could have very easily taken that army of Sigs and gone off and started
his own medical school.
TOCCI — if he hadn't dragged down that internship in Harlem Hospital, his
next best bet would have been the chair (or soap-box) of forensic medicine
in Columbus Circle.
TUCKER — and if only Tommy hadn't run out of toilet tissue, that Allentown
streetcar we were on would have won first prize in any float parade in
the country.
VALIENTE-CARRENA — we were certain that the Revenue Department would
get around to making Mike take out a license for that bar in the Gladstone
before the year was up.
VERGA — we don't know whether the A. M. A. elects its presidents by popular
vote or not, but if they do, we'll give even money that Mr. Moto will be
the president in a couple of years — either that, or he'll have Hague working
for him.
VERI — and if the advertisers won't pay for their ads — we'll just send Frank
out to play poker with them to collect the money, and their shirts as well.
WEBER — Old Man Mose is going to get his electrical engineering mixed up
with his doctoring some day — and wire some poor patient for sound.
WINNER — the only thing his Sophomore election platform lacked was a copy of
his date-book — and if he'd thrown that in, his ticket would have walked in.
WITKOWSKI — the ten o'clock scholar started coming in at nine because he
got tired of eating breakfast so close to lunch.
ZERBE — we always envied Bob — he was the only fellow who could come in
anywhere during a roll call and still get marked present — but it must have
been a terrific struggle to keep from developing an inferiority complex
after being last in everything.
And so ends the last roll call, which was all in good fun — but if there are
any hard feelings — blame it on —
Minerva, Munsie, and Ackerman.

Handbook of Dispensary Medicine
A compilation of handy little facts and pointers calculated to advise those
classes following us, and those twelve seniors who are going to repeat the
year (11:00 P. M. rumor 5/1/40) how best to enjoy the hours between one and
three.
MEDICAL DISPENSARY — a cozy little madhouse occupying the southeast cor-
ner of the first floor wheer junior staff members drop in to get warm, cadge
cigarettees from one another, and tell tall tales about the size of the patient
who got away; and where senior students play a game called "button — button,
who has the B.M.R. request" with a red-headed lady who was certain that that
pateint wasn't Irish even if the name on his card was Michael O'Rourke. Our
advice for getting along here is:
1. Don't spend a half-hour trying to find the clinic card of that good
looking blonde you saw on the bench on the way in — she is probably
one of Dr. Snowden's allergy patients.
2. Refer all undiagnosable patients to G-I dispensary — but DON'T give
them an appointment for the day that you are assigned to that dis-
pensary.
3. It is customary to send Miss Whelan flowers and a box of candy before
requesting a chest plate for a patient. If, after this, she still wants to
know what you want the request for — you had better give up and
refer the patient to Neurology.
4. Shy away from a folder containing ten or twenty cards — it probably
belongs to a diabetic who has been receiving insulin from Dr. Gold-
smith ever since the doctor was high enough to reach an arm with a
syringe. Such patients will insist on taking up your time with tales
of how much better the dispensary was in the old hospital.
5. Don't worry about the pharmacy — they always keep a five-ton supply
of phenobarbital in reserve.
6. After getting three different answers from three different staff men
concerning the indicated remedy for a case — give the patient Bryonia
and you can't go wrong.
G-I DISPENSARY — this dispensary is dedicated to the proposition that any
patient who doesn't have a rubber tube shoved down his gullet at least once
a week is the unhappiest of mortals and probably a nasty Communist to boot.
1. In this dispensary, all the patients get "the works"; "the works" con-
sisting of the draining of everything from the cavities in the back
molars down to the goblet cells just north of the ligament of Trite.
This is all performed by means of a rubber tube with a gagging patient
on one end and a harried technician on the other.
2. In interpreting a gall-bladder drainage report, the finding of the fol-
lowing should be considered pathologic: (a) goldfish, (b) old hairpins,
and (c) cigarette butts.
3. If you can't blame it on the gall-bladder — remember — you can always
fall back on Habitus Enteropticus — where the ensiform is more than a
stone's throw from the symphisis.
4. The best way to confuse a peptic ulcer pain that comes on three hours
after a meal is to have the patient eat his meals three hours later than
usual.
208
THERAPEUTICS— in which Drs. Boericke, Snowden, and Mattern carry the
gospel of Samuel Hahnemann to the darkest regions of the sixth floor, and
also to see how well the students assigned to the various cases on the floor
have copied the interns' histories and physicians. Things to keep in mind in
this section are:
1. Always stay as far away from the bedside as possible because —
(a) This gives you more time to find out from your partner whether
or not the case is yours when Dr. Boericke says, "Now whose
case is this?"
(b) You can step out and chew the fat with a nurse while the doctors
are deciding whether to give the patient Pulsatilla or Iodine.
(c) Some of the diseases they get on that service are awfully con-
tagious.
2. After the indicated remedy has been suggested by Dr. Boericke, it
must be moved and seconded by Drs. Mattern and Snowden before it
becomes a statute.
3. You can have a lot of fun with the X-Ray department by giving them
the history on one case and the x-ray plates on another case to in-
terpret at the Friday afternoon seminars.
4. Some good excuses for uncompleted histories and physicals — the
patient was uncooperative, the patient was on the bedpan, the patient
was in coma, and last but not least — the intern hadn't done a history
and physical yet.
5. When confronted with a patient on whom you knew you were sup-
posed to have taken a history two weeks previously, act indignant and
blame the intern for failing to assign the case to you, if this doesn'f
work — say you were waiting for the symptoms to develop.
PEDIATRICS DISPENSARY— this dispensary is split into two divisions— the sick
baby division, and the well baby division; the chief difference between the two
being that in the sick baby division, they put you in a booth with a single-
baby — and you only have to watch out for ONE stream at a time. It is prac-
tically impossible to go through three weeks of this dispensary unsullied (and
we mean unsullied) — but here are some tips anyway:
1. Never attempt to carry a baby to the scales for weighing — you never
can tell when those things are loaded.
2. Always try to get the cards of babies who are on the breast — you
don't have to worry about figuring out a formula for one of those things.
3. Never give any of those samples to the patients — do you want the
babies of the married students in the class to starve!
4. The recommended method for getting a tongue depresser into a baby's
mouth is to dislocate its jaw first.
5. Never try to strap an umbilical hernia without four assistants — two to
hold the baby — and two to untangle you from the adhesive tape — while
one of the staff men is strapping it.
NEUROLOGY DISPENSARY— a veritable bee-hive of a dispensary where the
students sit around playing a game titled — "Who put the positive spinal Was-
serman in Uncle Jake's moustache cup". The only way you can enjoy this
dispensary is to break a leg and miss the three weeks — but here are some
pointers anyway:
1 . The first thing to do when one of the staff walks in the room is to make
sure that the neurology book you are studying so intently is not upside
down.
1940

MEDIC
2. Don't be surprised if Wally Kratz comes in to give a lecture on some-
thing nearly every one else gives some sort of lecture in this dispensary.
3. We advise taking the notes on homeopathic drugs used in neurology
on colored note paper if it can be obtained. It makes excellent confetti
at Mummer's parades and other gala occasions.
4. Don't waste too much time on the cases assigned to you in the wards —
they will probably be discharged before Friday clinic anyway — YOU
HOPE.
5. And if you miss the P.G.H. section on Mondays — you can always claim
that you mistook the Stanley Theatre for the psychiatric building.
DERMATOLOGY DISPENSARY— the answer to the problem of how you can
keep a student entertained and cram a little knowledge into him at the same
time, or Ringling Brothers, Bernsteins and Wittmans mammoth show featuring
that galloping dermatologist — Dr. Kleinguenther.
1. A handy method for telling the day of the week — on Tuesdays the
Professor wears a brown suit, Wednesdays a grey one, Thursdays a
black one, and Fridays a blue one — on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mon-
days — the Professor stays home while these suits are out being cleaned
and pressed.
2. To become a doctor — you must know the following:
(a) The Professor's baldness is PREMATURE (because in the old
days — they didn't have such conveniences as automobiles, elec-
tric lights, and — Bernstein's Hair Tonic).
(b) There is some drug in a 500x potency — because you can't destroy
matter (but you can make it damn inconspicuous).
3. The Professor believes in the use of high potencis in practically all
drugs except malt, hops, rye, or corn extracts which he prefers in
physiologic doses.
4. Statistics show that of the three hundred and twenty-eight students
who have been awarded the rope in the Profesor's fifty years of teach-
ing experience — three became Presidents, one won the Kentucky Derby,
nine are doing the Indian rope trick in various carnivals, and the rest
are prescribing Dermament for all their skin cases.
5. When stuck for the indicated remedy — remember: you don't go up an
alley just to take a short-cut home; canaries don't crow; and if the
bank clerks are using fountain pens — you still have some in your
pencil.
EYE, EAR, NOSE AND THROAT DISPENSARY— wherein the boys get a gander
at a retina, an ear drum, a turbinate, and a tonsil; and thus, having absorbed
the essentials of these difficult specialties spend the rest of the time in the
second floor students' room recuperating from the strain. To pass the time
away — here are a couple of "nuggets":
1. Never try to argue with your head mirror — if you find the light focused
on the eye — treat it; if focused on the nose — get a speculum in there
before the light — or the nose — gets away; if focused in the larynx and
you catch a glimpse of something red between the two pillars — you
have the prime indication for a T. & A. If you can't get the light any-
where near the head — better refer the patient to another dispensary.
2. When syringing an ear — you can be certain that you are using too
much pressure when the water starts coming out the other ear.
3. If you see sebaceous glands — that is not a retina you are looking at,
but the side of the patients nose.
r.O
4. It is recommended that the senior students have a working knowledge
of the alphabet before attempting to test a patient's vision on the
charts.
5. When using a laryngeal mirror on a pateint — stop when any of the
following happens:
(a) the patient deposits his lunch in your lap.
(b) the patient becomes cyanotic and stops breathing,
(c) you withdraw the mirror and find pieces of vocal cord hanging
from it.
GYNECOLOGY DISPENSARY— an assorted collection of backaches and leuk-
orrheas subsidized by the Vinegar Manufacturers Association where the gals
learn that that thick white discharge ain't whipped cream and the students
learn that the gals aren't "sugar and spice, and everything nice".
1. Don't try to get all the fresh looking young white girls for patients —
because in three weeks — you can become a confirmed cynic.
2. If you can't feel a fornice in any direction — you are probably in the
bladder.
3. Make sure that the patient sees that it is a speculum you are inserting
because some of them will insist that you are trying to shove a sink
up there.
4. When, in the course of an examination, a patient complains that she
is feeling nervous — get that thumb away from there.
5. Simplified treatment — (a) all patients get vinegar douches, (b) alternate
patients get hydrastis or cantharis, (c) every other patient gets dia-
thermy, (d) every fifth patient gets estrogenic substance, (e) at the end
of the day — a drawing is held of the patient's clinic numbers and the
winner gets a bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy.
OBSTETRICS DISPENSARY — a place where thirteen year old primiparas sit
around walking with twenty-five year old para twelves while the students
finish their cigarettes in the students' room.
1. The internal conpugate shall be considered as the distance from the
symphis to the point where the patient yells ouch. When you have
your entire arm in there and still can't feel the lumbar spine — put down
eleven centimeters — and forget about it — because the patient could
probably deliver a Mack Truck through there.
2. A marked rise in the systolic pressure means: (a) someone has prob-
ably stuffed your stethoscope diaphragm with paper, (b) you've put
the blood pressure cuff on your own arm by mistake, or (c) the student
who took the previous reading was in a hurry to get back and retrieve
his cigar butt in the students room.
3. We don't care how thirsty you are — that stuff you find lying around in
various places in paper cups is NOT lemonade!
4. In a patient pregnant over six months — the following are absolutely
necessary for a vaginal exam: (a) A vagina; (b) a foetus. The only
contra-indication is the presence of Dr. Lafferty.
5. Whe ntaking the internal measurements on a para ten it is best to have
one foot anchored to a radiator or some other stationary object.
6. The social service workers have been in this dispensary a long time
and are pretty much disillusioned about the stork and such — so don't
worry if you can't embarass them.

MEDIC
SURGICAL DISPENSARY — the curriculum provides this dispensary as a place
for students to go after they have finished reading the morning paper in surgery
clinic, and also where they may learn to do things which any Boy Scout could
do with much less fuss.
1. The duties of a student assisting at a sebaceous cyst removal are:
(a) To hold the patient's coat, (b) To move the light around for the staff
man, (c) To keep out of the staff man's way.
2. A bandage or dressing can be considered as correctly applied when
you are able to get the patient out of the dispensary before Dr. Buck
sees it.
3. Hemostats which stay closed, and forceps that grip are to be turned
over to the dispensary nurse when discovered, as they are not meant
for student use.
4. For a small laceration on a finger, bandage the entire arm and put it
in a sling — in this way, you won't have any trouble with Miss Wehlan
when she wants to know where the cut is.
5. Students are required to report back to Surgery clinic when the dis-
pensary is finished — once upon a time, a student did.

THE RIP VAN WINKLE
LETHARGIC SOCIETY
This society was founded in our Freshman year at Hahnemann by a group
of progressive students who realized that in the intensive training to which
medical students are subjected, there must be some time alloted to rest (the
hours from nine to five daily is the time they had in mind). The only require-
ment for membership in the society is the ability to sleep for one-half hour on
an amphitheatre seat without falling off. The society holds meetings on the
least provocation — in fact all they need is someplace to sit or lie down.
HONORARY FACULTY MEMBERS — for distinguished contributions toward
the aims of the society.
Dr. Frank Dr. Baker Dr. Horn
Society Motto — "We Should Have Stood in Bed"

THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION
OF SURPRISED SENIORS
A group ol seniors banded together for the purpose of giving the year-book
candid boys something to waste film on. Their aim is to never let the back of
their head show in a picture, lest the folks want to know what they've been
doing with all that money that they were supposed to be spending on haircuts.
The society can be found holding a meeting anytime there is a candid camera
within a radius of three blocks.

ology clinic. . .reminded us... of other springs which had passed. . .but for
the most part . . . we clung to Hering Hall . . . and the pinball machine in the
Luncheonette. . .and the "bull sessions" didn't stop. . .while they moved from
the f rontof the cage ... to the Fifteenth street steps . . . and sidewalk . . . And
finally .. .the gathering wrath of the faculty ... concerning the... "who cares"
attitude ... of the class of Forty . . . reached its bursting point . . . and there was a
class meeting... at which no one heckled. . .and no one complained. . .and
we sat silent . . . and staring . . . and lost deep in our own troubled thoughts ... as
the class president exploded a bombshell. . .in our midst. . .and for a day. . .
the halls rang with conjecture. . .and worried groups. . .buzzed in low tones. . .
throughout the corridors of the school. . .and hospital. . .and thus. . .was the
"Club 21" born. . .and the happy-go-lucky Seniors. . .of but a week before. . .
were all at once . . . worried . . . and hurt . . . and angry . . . and resentful . . . and
concerned. . .and lecturers. . .who had become inured... to empty spaces...
were overwhelmed ... by the hordes of Seniors. . .who hurriedly left. . .their
beds. . .and their pool tables. . .and their dart boards. . .and their card games
. . . their haste ... to convince the Medical Council . . . that they weren't possibly
the guys they were thinking about. . .But even without the impetus of the
Medical Council. . .the "I don't care" attitude. . .had been undergoing a slow
transformation ... as most of use began to realize . . . that all the old familiar
scenes ... to which we had grown accustomed over a four year period . . . were
not to be with us much longer. . .So we went to a Blue and Gold. . .and got a
little tight. . .perhaps because it's what we always did at Blue and Gold Balls
. . .but more likely because it was our last. . .and we were a little bit saddened
... by that thought . . . and finally . . .
May. . .and it would soon be over. . .and we wanted to finish. . .and then
again we didn't. . .and we detected the buds. . .of a beginning alumni spirit. . .
as someone proudly discovered. . .an arm rest or seat back. . .on which he had
playfully carved his initials back in the dim days of '36. . .or caught someone
else . . . looking with fond regret ... at scenes about to be left behind . . . and the
pool games . . . and the dart games . . . and the card games . . . seemed to take
on a listlessness . . . imparted by the fact that after four years . . . they too would
218
soon be over. . .and in the meantime. . .the curricula gained momentum. . .as
the faculty took their last crack. . .at making M.D.'s out of us. . .and maybe the
Medical department. . .and all the other departments. . .weren't kidding... in
those many warnings which they had passed out throughout the year. . .and
the tribulations. . .suffered by the "Club 21". . .rose anew in our minds. . .and
we began to worry about the session the Executive Committee was going to
have ... on the evening of May 31... and the boys were scurrying ... to get
their twelve deliveries under the line. . .and the papers. . .and themes. . .and
case histories. . .which should have been written months before. . .and finally
. . .weary. . .and tired. . .and happy. . .and sad. . .and apprehensive. . .and un-
concerned . . . we came to the end . . . and . . .
June. . .and a busy two weeks' bustle. . .of alumni dinners. . .and gradua-
tion rehearsals. . .and invitations to mail. . .and friends to bid good-bye to. . .
and arrangements to make. . .and finally .. .June 13... and the Academy of
Music... and a long and devious way. . .from the Elkins Amphitheatre ... of
September, 1936. . .and as we repeated. . .after the Dean. . ."I swear by Apollo
the physician, and Aesculapius "...the last vestiges of our youth...
seemed to drop from us. . .and. . .the "babes in the woods". . .were physicians.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The process of compiling, editing, and publishing a yearbook is a difficult
task; when to this is added the necessity of doing a thorough job with the diffi-
cult Senior medical curriculum, the problems of an editor seem at times un-
surmountable.
Therefore, in acknowledgment of those whose ready help and advice aid-
ed materially in the completion of this book; we give grateful thanks to: —
Mr. Frank Veri, the Business Manager, and those of his staff who contri-
buted towards making this book a financial success.
Those members of the editorial staff who responded to the frequent calls
of the editor for some assistance.
Mr. Armand F. Verga for his counsel and cooperation.
Dr. Wm. A. Pearson, Dr. Russel H. Fisher, Dr. Carl C. Fischer, and Dr. Henry
D. Lafferty for their friendly counsel.
Mr. Wallace K. Kratz for the numerous tips he gave us; and Miss Clara C.
Fisher for her advice and the mass of stenographic detail of which she
relieved us.
Miss Betty Rubenstone for the many hours she devoted to stenographic
work, copy reading, and the compiling of the dummy.
Mr. Frank Boles of the Philadelphia-Weeks Engraving Company of whom
we can truthfully say that without the hours he so willingly gave in assist-
ance to the editor, the publishing of this yearbook would not have been
possible.
Mr. Max Merin of Merin-Baliban Photographers for his friendly coopera-
tion.
Mr. Ed Schlechter of the Schlechter Printing company for his cooperation,
advice, and patience.
Mr. Twist of National Publishing Company for his aid in the completion

EXPLOITATION of the
MEDICAL PROFESSION
E
VERYWHERE it is rampant — newsapers, magazines, billboards, radio. "Your
doctor will tell you that ..." "Medical science has found that . . . ." "The
greatest specialists in Timbutoo say that ..." And the rest of he story is, of
course, "Use our pills or our vitamins three times a day; ask your doctor."
You are forced to compete with those who offer your patients free advice regard-
ing medical treatment. You deliver Mrs. Blank's baby today, and tomorrow she
will receive by mail samples of baby foods with complete directions how to use
them. Indeed, some physicians representing a commercial organization and
knowing that the case is in your hands may address a personal letter to your
patient offering his services free.
It has been said that ten more years of the present trend of interference in
medical practice will do away with the need for private practice of infant feeding
and other branches of medicine.
Mead Johnson & Company have always believed that the feeding and care of
babies and growing children is an individual problem that can best be controlled
by the individual physician. For over twenty years and in dozens of ethical ways
we have given practical effect to this creed. We hold the interest of the medical
profession higher than our own, for we too, no doubt, could sell more of our
products were we to advertise them directly to the public.
• • •
So long as medical men tacitly encourage the present trend, so long will serious
inroads continue to be made into private medical practice. When more physicians
specify MEAD'S Products when indicated, more babies will be fed by physicians
because Mead Johnson & Company earnestly co-operate with the medical pro-
fession along strictly ethical lines and never exploit the medical profession.

It's Time You Owned
a BELL & HOWELL
MOVIE CAMERA
A HELP IN YOUR PROFESSION
A GREAT HOBBY
It's time you owned a really fine
camera, for movies can be more than
a recreation . . . they can be used to
advance yourself in your profession.
Your movies, however, can be no bet-
